Did anyone bother to actually read what the prism program does?

NSA Prism program taps in to user data of Apple, Google and others | World news | The Guardian

The National Security Agency has obtained direct access to the systems of Google, Facebook, Apple and other US internet giants, according to a top secret document obtained by the Guardian.

"The NSA access is part of a previously undisclosed program called Prism, which allows officials to collect material including search history, the content of emails, file transfers and live chats, the document says."



"The NSA access was enabled by changes to US surveillance law introduced under President Bush and renewed under Obama in December 2012."

"The program facilitates extensive, in-depth surveillance on live communications and stored information. The law allows for the targeting of any customers of participating firms who live outside the US, or those Americans whose communications include people outside the US.

It also opens the possibility of communications made entirely within the US being collected without warrants."

When are some of you going to wake up?

When the Liberal media start reporting real news but that won't happen. Does Chris Matthews who insisted Benghazi was because of a video still get that tingle up his leg?

Hopefully this will open their eyes as to how stupid and ignorant many Americans are, maybe they will finally take steps to improve our schools.

You can throw all the money at improving schools all you want but if the kids think studying hard and getting good grades is acting too white then what good will throwing more money at it make.

The NSA knows exactly when they are going to wake up. They've hacked their iPhones and mapped their sleeping habits based on the alarm settings.

I guess the tea party types must be anti White, all the demonization of "intellectual elites" from the right.
